New Delhi: The Delhi Congress on Saturday alleged that the state election commission (SEC) refused to share the serial number, make, and the name of the manufacturing company of the electronic voting machinesthat will be used in the bypolls in 12 municipal wards in the capital.The SEC, however, refuted the charge and said all necessary information was provided to the delegation of the political party.The Delhi Congress, in a statement, said its delegation went to the SEC for a first-level check of the EVMs, which will be used in the bypolls.The party said that it wrote a letter to the election panel on May 5 and then again on May 9 to seek the information, but it was not provided.”The delegation participated in the FLC today, but under protest,” the party said.An SEC official, however, said the make of the EVM and the name of the company were informed to the party as soon as a letter was received from it. “The serial numbers of those EVMs are provided, which are finally selected to be used in the election. It was only the first-level check today,” the official said. tnn
